The Holy Quran 63:2 — Surah Al-Munafiqun

Arabic text

ٱتَّخَذُوٓا۟ أَيْمَـٰنَهُمْ جُنَّةً فَصَدُّوا۟ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ سَآءَ مَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ

Translation

They use their oaths (when they swear that they are Muslims) as shields (to protect their hypocrisy from being exposed) and (they also) prevent (others) from Allaah's path (Islaam). Evil indeed is that which they do.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
